Bruins Acquire JJ Peterka for Pair of First-Round Picks
Winger JJ Peterka will suit up for the Boston Bruins in 2026-27 after the Utah Mammoth traded him for two first-round draft picks. Boston gave up the No. 23 pick in the 2026 draft and a conditional 2028 first-round pick. Utah acquired Peterka from the Buffalo Sabres just 12 months ago, signing him to a five-year, $38.5 million contract extension. Unfortunately, he failed to meet expectations with the Mammoth, finishing the 2025-26 campaign with 47 points (25 goals, 22 assists) in 82 games. Peterka flirted with a 70-point season only a couple of years ago and will be a bounce-back candidate in 2026-27. He joins a team that scored for fun in 2025-26, averaging 3.27 goals per game.
